So I hit up the range yesterday with some new toys.
The 686 is a nice, simple gun. The .357 kicks hard as hell, but the 38 special felt almost like a 9mm. The 686 is heavy, so it took a lot of the force away. But my left hand was a little singed after pumping almost 100 shots through it. I love wheel guns!
Another fellow showed up with a 30-06 and he was booming away. I thought "why do you get all the attention?". That was the right time for me to bust out the 45/70 lever. Again, it's a simple gun with mechanical action. I really enjoyed shooting it, and would have blown off a lot more than the 10 or so that I shot. If the rounds were $3 each...
The T97 was flawless, as always. I'm waiting on the lower hand guard for it, and it's done. The T97 has to be one of my favorite guns to shoot. Too bad I shot the bolt holding my steel target up in the first 20 shots. So much for that!
I had a good time out there shooting the new toys. I need to get my reloads started so I can target these in without breaking the bank.
